Thank you for the critique

Here is the revised rotated boxes excersise

Thanks for filling in the remaining areas; some of the boxes at the very top corners look a bit distorted (I think upper left has 5 sides?), although I think that they can certainly be trickier to draw given the sharp angles they're at.

If you want to I'd say consider giving the exercise another shot, focusing on setting the corner points based on the existing lines and corners (basically the "Draw a neighbouring plane" section of the hw instructions). The central areas look good in this respect, it's just the upper corners which can use the extra TLC, specifically on the outer edges.

I think you have the idea down for this though, so I'll mark as complete (this and the other lesson 1's can become warmups); happy drawing!

Next Steps:

Continue onto the 250 box challenge with the Lesson 1 material used as warmup exercises; also remember to continue drawing for yourself to keep to the 50% rule.

This community member feels the lesson should be marked as complete, and 2 others agree. The student has earned their completion badge for this lesson and should feel confident in moving onto the next lesson.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
